Transforming arc flash risk management through rigorous safety frameworks that protect people, assets, and operational integrity
Arc Flash Electrical Safety 2026 brings together Australia’s leading electrical safety experts to tackle one of the most persistent—and preventable—threats in high-risk workplaces: arc flash.
This conference goes beyond compliance to challenge organisations to rethink how they
identify, calculate, and control arc flash hazards.
Delegates will explore practical, evidence-based strategies to reduce risk, strengthen protection systems, and embed resilient safety practices across operations. From advanced mitigation techniques to cutting-edge protective technologies, this event equips professionals with the insights and tools to elevate electrical safety performance and cultivate a culture where arc flash incidents are prevented, not just managed.
Back by popular demand, Jim Phillips, P.E., a globally recognized expert in arc flash and power Systems engineering, will lead a two-day IEEE 1584 / Arc Flash Training on 21–22 August 2026.
